The EPAS Framework, based on the work of Charlotte Danielson's, divides the complex activity of teaching into 19 components across four domains. Each of the 19 components is made up of multiple elements, and each element is comprised of several indicators (found in the drop-downs under each domain above).
For example, Selecting Instructional Goals is a component of Domain 1: Planning & Preparation. One of the elements of this component is Value, Sequence, and Alignment; one of the indicators describing performance within this element is, "Goals reflect important learning in the discipline." |

The L4L Evaluation System parallels (Danielson's) domains, but replaces her second domain with Library Environment. Many of the elements and the components in this domain parallel Danielson’s; however, when necessary, they have been adapted to the role of the school librarian when it differs from the teacher’s role. All elements represent principles of best practice in teaching and school librarianship. Each domain has specific, measurable components to evaluate performance. As a result of self-assessment and conferencing with evaluators, the school librarian’s professional development goals reflect and align with the elements of these evaluative criteria.
